In this episode of Dimensions of Diversity, host Lloyd Freeman welcomes his colleague Jennifer Minter, Executive Shareholder at Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney and the Chair of the firm’s Corporate Section. Jennifer’s securities practice involves counseling companies on compliance with federal and state securities law regulation and advising on issues related to corporate governance matters and public company policies and processes.
Together, the pair unpack the “NASDAQ Rule” which was aimed at enhancing board diversity across its listed companies. The rule required NASDAQ-listed companies to have at least one woman and one person of color on their board or explain why they do not. During the episode, Lloyd and Jennifer dive into the details of the rule, the legal challenges it’s faced, and the potential implications of the court ruling that ultimately vacated the rule.
